The Rainbow Bridge

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent;

His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs
carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your
life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together

My husband brought Willy home on my birthday on April 1st. He was a very sweet kitty. Just sat on my lap and slept. He found my hands and face fascinating. We already had a cat and a wiener dog and a German Shepard so we didn't think we would have any problems. All my fur babies sleep with me every night including willy. Today I put him on his leash so he could use the litter box and reach his food and water and not go to far . I was just about to get in the shower when I heard him meow strange. I looked up and say him in a death rattle with blood shooting everywhere in my kitchen and all over me. I screamed for my husband and he ran to my side and picked Willy up to see if he could save him but he was gone. Died in my arms. My husband took Willy away and put the animals outside. I eneded up in the bed room having a panic attack.I was supost to be at work in an hour so my husband called and told them what happened. My manager said that I had to come in or I would lose my job. I jumped in the shower to try to calm down that didn't work. I went to work and had a panic attack again and had to go to the emergency room. They gave me a shot so I could get calmed down. Now I'm at home all by myself except for the animals. My husband works nights. Im having bad dreams now and can't sleep. It can only get better cause this is awful.

Oh honey, take slow, deep breaths to calm yourself and think about the good times. Hug your cat and dog, keep them close until you are feeling stronger. Willy had a great life and isn't in any pain. Now you have to work on getting better :)
